Le Meridien Dallas, the Stoneleigh in 2013, when it was Luxe Stoneleigh Hotel and Spa

At long last, Le Méridien Dallas, the Stoneleigh has opened its restaurant — Graze at the Stoneleigh. In fact, it has been quietly serving breakfast, lunch and dinner since sometime in January, according to Stoneleigh Food and Beverage manager Shannon Simpson. Executive chef Juan Rosado, who has been with the hotel since September, was most recently executive chef at the Rosewood Crescent Hotel. His dinner menu proposes straight-ahead modern American fare, including starters like shrimp tempura with melon, prosciutto and lemon aioli; crab cake with roasted corn, smoked tomato and mango; and burrata with tomato confit and garlic. There are basic salads (Caesar; Iceberg wedge; spinach and watermelon), steaks and chops. Other main courses include maple plank-roasted wild salmon; crackling pork shank; and roasted “under a brick” Jidori chicken.

At lunchtime, salads, lobster rolls, roasted chicken clubs, rib-eye steak sandwiches and the like are the idea; for breakfast, there’s a croque madame, pumpkin bread with tomato confit or a smoked salmon and poached egg sandwich in addition to more classic morning fare (pancakes, huevos rancheros, biscuits and sausage with scrambled eggs).
